Can John Cena, who’s in the final run of his career, pick up his record-breaking 17th world championship? Who wins the deep feud between Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and CM Punk? Can Iyo Sky fend off both Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair to retain her title? And who is El Grande Americano? (It’s Chad Gable.)
Here’s a look at the card and predictions for the show:

Chad Gable, who’s totally not El Grande Americano, lived in Colorado Springs when he aspired to make the U.S. Olympic wrestling team. He did, competing in the 84-kg Greco-Roman event at the 2012 London Games. He is facing Rey Mysterio in a singles match on night one.
Otis wrestled collegiately for CSU-Pueblo and began his pro wrestling career in Colorado. While he’s not scheduled for WrestleMania, he may show up at some point.
Saturday night card
Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano
Singles match
How we got here: After struggling with luchadores for months, Chad Gable took a step away from the ring. Then a mysterious luchador named El Grande Americano, who looked like and wrestled like Gable (except under a mask), made his debut and began defeating the WWE’s luchadors through nefarious means. Rey Mysterio took offense and wanted to fight him for the honor of lucha libre style wrestling.
Who should win: Mysterio. It feels like a “bad guy gets his comeuppance” kind of match.
Who will win: Mysterio.
Jade Cargill vs. Naomi
Singles match
How we got here: Cargill was attacked by an unknown assailant in a November episode of “Smackdown,” which kept her out of the ring for months. She had been part of the tag-team champions with Bianca Belair at the time, but Naomi would step in to fill her spot in her absence. At Elimination Chamber, Cargill returned and attacked Naomi, who would later reveal that she was the attacker. Now comes the grudge match.
Who should win: Cargill. She had been one of the most hyped up WWE signings after she had left All Elite Wrestling in 2023. While she has seen success as a tag-team wrestler so far, this will be her biggest moment as a singles wrestler in the company.
Who will win: Cargill.
LA Knight (c) vs. Jacob Fatu
Singles match WWE United States Championship
How we got here: After Roman Reigns defeated his cousin Solo Sikoa to regain the title of the “Tribal Chief,” Fatu (who’s a real-life cousin to both) had shifted his efforts to the United States championship. He beat Braun Strowman on the April 4 episode of “Smackdown” to earn the title shot.
Who should win: Fatu. One of the more physically gifted members of wrestling’s Anoa’i family (which includes The Rock, Roman Reigns, Jimmy and Jey Uso), it was only a matter of time he would get his shot to shine as a singles star. This feels like the springboard.
Who will win: Fatu.
The War Raiders (c) vs. The New Day
Tag-team match World Tag Team Championship
How we got here: The New Day shed their beloved fan-favorite status after turning on founding member Big E by saying he abandoned them after he suffered a real-life, career-threatening neck injury. Now just Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, they are looking to regain glory by winning the World Tag Team Championship from The War Raiders.
Who should win: The New Day. What began as a white-hot heel turn by The New Day has gone somewhat lukewarm over the last couple of months. But a win here could reignite their momentum — especially if Big E gets involved in some way.
Who will win: The New Day.
Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
Singles match WWE Women’s Championship
How we got here: Charlotte won this year’s Royal Rumble, which granted her a shot at a world championship. She chose Stratton. Then they got into odd verbal battles that have become pretty personal.
Who should win: Stratton. The former gymnast has quickly acclimated to the WWE since her promotion from NXT last year. She has the look, she has the moves and with the championship, the future is now.
Who will win: Flair. I feel like I said the same thing above with Rhea Ripley years ago when she had to take on Flair. Ripley lost. My heart says Stratton, my head says Flair for her 15th world championship reign, just one behind her father, Ric.
Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso
Singles match World Heavyweight Championship
How we got here: Jey Uso won this year’s Royal Rumble, granting him a shot at a world championship. He chose Gunther.
Who should win: Uso. They’ve been coining him “Main Event” Jey Uso for years now. If there’s a time to pull the trigger on putting the title on him, it’s now. If nothing else, the scene of 70,000-plus fans dancing to his song when he wins would be a WrestleMania moment in itself.
Who will win: Uso.
Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk (with Paul Heyman) vs. Seth Rollins
Triple-threat match
How we got here: These three have plenty of history dating back well over a decade. But in terms of this match coming about, let’s begin with Rollins turning down an invitation to join Reigns’ team at this past Survivor Series, given that the two have had years of animosity. Instead, Punk joined on the stipulation that Heyman would owe him a favor. Fast forward to the Royal Rumble when Punk eliminated both Reigns and Rollins before being eliminated himself. The three would have a brutal brawl outside the ring. This would lead to more altercations in the coming weeks until the three-way match was announced. Punk called in his favor, which would be to have Heyman in his corner — not Reigns’.
Who should win: Punk. This one’s a hard one. All three have a legitimate case as to why they should win. But I’m going with WWE’s prodigal son. Having Heyman in his corner can’t be the full extent of the favor, can it?
Who will win: Rollins. As I said above, this could easily be any of the three of them. But seeing Rollins stand tall could have implications for what happens on Sunday.
Sunday night card
AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul
Singles match
How we got here: Paul — yes, the YouTube star — has been a semi-active wrestler in the WWE over the last few years. Styles returned at the Royal Rumble and was eliminated by Paul. Styles would challenge him to a match and general manager Adam Pearce would finally schedule it.
Who should win: Styles. I always love a good “bad guy gets his comeuppance” payoff — and there few who are easier to hate than Paul.
Who will win: Paul. That said, I believe through a menagerie of YouTube stars interfering, Paul will stand tall and get his well-deserved jeers.
Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre
Singles match Sin City Street Fight
How we got here: Let’s go back to WrestleMania XL when McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins to win the World Heavyweight Championship. He held it for less than six minutes as CM Punk attacked him after the match and Priest used his Money in the Bank to cash in for championship match right there and then. Fast forward to the Royal Rumble and Priest eliminated McIntyre. Priest eliminated McIntyre again at the Elimination Chamber. Now it’s time settle it.
Who should win: McIntyre. Fourth time’s the charm? McIntyre’s due for a win. But that was said for last year’s Clash at the Castle where McIntyre, who’s Scottish, lost his championship match in Glasgow to — you guessed it — Priest.
Who will win: McIntyre.
Bron Breakker (c) vs. Penta vs. Finn Bálor vs. Dominik Mysterio
Fatal four-way match WWE Intercontinental Championship
How we got here: Breakker’s been the champion since October. In recent months, The Judgment Day faction — which includes Balor and Mysterio — have been a thorn in Breakker’s side. Penta, who joined the WWE in January after a stint in AEW, has been quickly rising through the ranks. Now the four of them will battle it out for the title.
Who should win: Balor. Signs of The Judgment Day splintering have been showing for a month. While it’s easy to have Balor and Mysterio simply take each other out, it would be more fascinating in the future if one of them wins the title and that causes a rift.
Who will win: Penta. He seems like he’s been the new best thing since coming to the WWE. Put a title on him and let him fly.
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez (c) vs. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria
Tag-team match WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship
How we got here: Morgan and Rodriguez, also of The Judgment Day, won the titles in February. Valkyria, the current women’s intercontinental champion, and Bayley won a gauntlet match on the April 7 “SmackDown” to earn a match for the title.
Who should win: Morgan and Rodriguez. There have been subtle hints of Bayley turning on Valkyria to further their feud for the Intercontinental title. Whether or not that’s a red herring, it feels like Morgan and Rodriguez should have a continued run as champions.
Who will win: Morgan and Rodriguez.
Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley
Triple-threat match Women’s World Championship
How we got here: Belair won this year’s Elimination Chamber to earn a world title match. The champion was Ripley before she lost her title to Sky on the March 3 episode of “Raw.” Ripley came out during Belair and Sky’s contract signing and attacked both women, then signed the contract herself. Ripley would later face Sky in a match with Belair as the guest referee. It ended in a double disqualification allowing Sky to retain. GM Adam Pearce would later make this a triple-threat match.
Who should win: Sky. In several confrontations involving the three women, Sky has always been positioned as the one ignored. That could play out in this match (which is one that could steal the show).
Who will win: Sky.
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena
Singles match WWE Championship

He won the men’s Elimination Chamber and received a world title shot. Then in March, he turned on Rhodes and turned to the dark side.
Who should win: Cena. Let’s ignore the fact that a win here would tie him with Ric Flair for the most number of world championship reigns all time at 17. The real fun is seeing how a Cena run as a bad guy champion would be over the coming months. His time is now.
Who will win: Cena.
